The word "inflation" was co-opted. It once meant, increase in monetary supply.
Now it's a data sey cherry-picked to hide the fact that governments keep taxes low, but rob you blind. Inflation is a crypto-tax, crypto as in "secret."

I think most nostriches are already digital signature experts, but most people don't even know what the phrase digital signature is and they store the only password they own on a Post-It note underneath their keyboard.
NIP 6 mnemonic abatracts much of this complexity away.
It also makes nostr like a speak-easy on the Internet. Anybody Is allowed to enter this speak-easy, but only you can create the secret, 12 word passphrase.
I like the idea of nostr being a sort of secret, open, speak-easy on the Internet. I think that's easier to sell than copy this nsec1w...blah..blah...blah onto a sheet of paper...

I agree, but again, it's because they don't know what they don't know. I am saying even "well educated" people are uneducated on the subject of money.
An entomologist probably knows a lot of things about bugs. The entomologist probably read Shakesphere at some point, but that entomologist probably never learned anything about money. It is not as if the entomologist is not capable of learning about money, it's just that our hypothetical entomologist is uneducated about money.

r < g
Is a 180° turn from Tomas Pickety's famous mathmatical expression in Captial On The 21st Century. Pickety argued that wealth inequality was created because
r > g
Before you start calling me a Commie, I did not say I am a Pickety super fan. I am into Austrian economics, but I studied many different schools before I finally found Hazlit.
I never read Capital in the 21st Century, but I was an avid econtalk listener.
If we accept the current financial regime does not view the world through an Auatrian lens, we can see the math behind what I believe is another 4th Turning.
Bessent announced he wants to turn r>g around. He literally means flipping r>g to r<g.👀

I tested auto withdraw with two lightning addresses a couple days ago to write an article. The auto withdraw did not withdraw.
I had about 12,000 sats and was able to withdraw 11,000 sats to minibits using Cashu. I keep 1,000 sats on there to cover fees. I won't lose any sleep of I lose 1,000 sats. This is not investment advice.
I withdrew the sats from my Minibits wallet to a self-hosted Phoenix wallet. It worked. Even the sats still on the Coinos server were sent to my own self custodial wallet.
Back in the early days, the lightning network motto was, "Don't be reckless."
That motto still applies. Cashu, NWC, and Coinos are very early days. Please do not use experimental custodial wallets with more money than you are willing to lose. Don't be reckless.

I was not able to send sats to my getalby address.

I messed around with WavLake this morning. It's a nostr native music client that allows music fans to find songs in specific genres.
Since we all know information longs to be free, @Wavlake allows that music to be free(as in freedom)
Instead of putting songs behind a corporate paywall that takes a hefty corporate tax, fans can pay musicians with peer-to-peer electronic cash(A.K.A. sats over the lightning network).
- No credit card is required.
- You can send sats to musicians performing live from your couch or in an event in meatspace.
- Interact with the audience on nostr and create a new kind of attention economy.
This sounds like science fiction, but as the saying goes, truth is stranger than fiction.
If you don't get it or don't believe me, here is a post from a musician who uses this freedom tech.
